Part / Junk it?

As much as I love cars/trucks, I would much rather spend time with my wife and kids. I'm done with big projects for the time being, anyway.

A project like the one you have on your hands is HUGE. Not necessarily intrusive if you are single, but a lot of work and $$ nonetheless. All that being said, I'd probably just sell it as is, unless you have the time and space to part it out.

The deal is, I work for an restoration company. So I've already purchased fenders, rockers, cab corners, floor patches, floor braces, lower cowl patches. Spent $850 on a pair of NOS doors, another $425 in a bed floor. I think i'm just going to forget about the truck for a week or two and rehash things.

ah, I hear you. I've thought about quitting many times in the middle of projects but stepping back always clears the mind. A break should do you good.

I hope it all works out, it sounds like you had some good plans for it, and putting another one of these 4X4 longbeds out on the road is always a good thing.
